Whilst getting research for a Manchester based project for University I walked past this old building on Cross Street. Having seen it a number of times before and wanting to photograph it for a while, now I finally had my camera out taking pictures, so I went for it. Ideally it would be taken on a nicer day with a blue sky but there is something special about contrast between the light stone and the dark dirt or soot. It is a shame that this building has a to let sign on it, I should really go back and see if the Lloyds TSB bank is still operating out of here.
